Sorry cannot help. Only owned this product for 48 hours before returning it. Also I asked Amazon to withdraw my review.

I have been using this player for about a year with this play for about a year. I have 2 MyCloud drives connected to the ethernet. I can easily access each one with the Live TV as well as another device I have which is the Live hub. The Live Hub has it's own internal storage ( yet small ) I am able to stream the content from the drive, or select media server, which is one of my 2 MyCloud.

was wondering if this connectivity between your NAS device and the TV actually worked. Please let us know.Thanks

To the best of my knowledge this TV will network but you need to but the accesory "dongle" to do so. I haven't had the need.

While not a Smart TV, it is DLNA compliant so you can stream content from any other DLNA device within your home network. I have a NAS w/ all my pics and vids; I can view all this content from on my TV.

I bought WD TV live to watch my Slingbox and home cable. Works great, except it's not very compatible with my home cable's remote/programing, etc. Pretty typical of these after market devices. No account is needed with WD TV. Don't know what a 'cc on file' is and I didn't have to do that. I had purchased a Netgear Neo first and it was junk. I returned it and bought the WD. Enjoy!!

I have the WDTV in addition to a DLNA media server installed on my D-LINK NAS. I can access all my media wirelessly throughout the house from my PS3 and computers, but my real interest was in watching MKVs, which is not supported by a whole lot of devices. The WDTV is one of the few devices so far that can, so I'm stuck with having 2 devices. The USB port on the NAS is for printer sharing. It is not a data port for reading files from the drive, so my guess is networked hard drives will not work.My wishlist, in order of priority:1) Sony to release a firmware to play .mkv's.2) WD to release a version of this device that is networked so I can read files off my NAS.

You can view the video over your local area network (thru a computer on your LAN) but if you were hoping to plug a VGA or HDMI cable into the box, it will not display the video feed. Also, if you get this device, make sure to look on ubiquiti's website and learn how to update the software. It's easy, you just need to SSH into the box and run some commands.

Great question...I just did a firmware update hoping that Netflix streaming would show up...no luck. Seems like it could work if they wanted to.

Should be okay. SmartTV feature should work with any home network regardless of location.

Can you plug an HD Antenna into the back with a USB dongle & watch local over-the-air channels?- I have not tried it, but I don't believe so.Can it see/browse video files on a network NAS?- Yes. It was able to see my SaMBa share without any problems and play the videos there.

No it does not. To remedy this I use a device called a WD TV Live Streaming Media Player Wi-Fi 1080p AVI Xvid MKV MOV FLV MP4 MPEG. This device plays internet content as well as accesses any files stored on your networked PC. I highly recommend it.

Depends more on the brand. I have a 3 TB Western digital my book essential. It seems to support it as it recognizes it over the network. Currently streaming via DLNA is problematic though but that is more of an issue with the firmware than the hard drive. I believe if you google the netgear webpage there is a listing of supported drives.

I don't have smart TV. You have to chech if your TV can read the format of this hard drive that it was foemated usely is NTFS

Short answer, yes.That's actually what it's made for and works great. You may also love the DLNA option as well if you have digital media you wish to share over your network.Movies and music can stream strait to your smart TV or any DLNA compatible media player from the NAS.If you have an Android device and plan on storing digital movies on this for network streaming, check out "media house pro"Great combo

Yes I actually had my wifi network go down and it still recorded to the SD card during that time so this works as long as you initially have it set up on a network. Also, I never allow cloud access to it. I use it only to record to SD and I also have it automatically ftp files to a server on my own network.
